The July 2026 Human Rights Report from the Hana Human Rights Organization reveals a persistent pattern of abuses in Kurdistan, including arbitrary detentions, restrictions on freedom of expression, and targeted attacks on journalists and activists. The report documents over 200 documented cases of unlawful arrests and reports that state security forces have used excessive force against peaceful protestors.

Key findings point to systemic discrimination against minority groups, with evidence of forced displacement and denial of access to essential services. The organization urges the international community to impose targeted sanctions on officials responsible for these violations and to support independent investigations into alleged war crimes.

Hana Human Rights Organization calls for transparent, impartial accountability mechanisms and urges Kurdish authorities to uphold international human rights standards, ensuring that victims receive justice and reparations. The report underscores the urgency of addressing these systemic injustices to protect the dignity and sovereignty of all communities in Kurdistan.
